I agree they get screwed. However, it is not that simple. You don't just get on a train and go, if your whole livelyhood and asset base is built into generations of development in that country. I also agree that the whites should leave. But what I take exception to is that you and others on this thread see fit to judge the whites in Zimbabwe, essentially saying they are stupid, so they deserve what they get. And by the way, because you are so stupid, you ignorant whites from a backwater country, I also don't feel sorry that you will lose everything you have built over the last few generations.

They needed to fight harder to keep what they had built. If they were not going to fight, they were bound to be killed and run off.

I also agree that calling whites who stay stupid and deserving of their fates is needlessly cruel. The choice between just dropping everything and leaving, or staying in the hopes that everything will straighten itself out, is difficult because we get security from physical things. An example would be senior citizens in Texas that died in a heat wave with working air conditioners left off to save electricity. The easy conclusion is stupidity, which is merely a blunt way of describing someone who chooses one thing over another for their own reasons, which we cannot discern after the fact. Unfortunately, stupidity is something that happens to everyone, no matter how wise or intelligent.
